Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of combustion chambers of turbomachines, and more particularly to the field of air and fuel injection systems in these combustion chambers.
- the invention applies to all types of land or aeronautical turbomachines, and in particular to aircraft turbomachines such as turbojets and turboprops.
- the invention relates to injection systems with a dual fuel injection circuit, which comprise a central injector, commonly called a pilot injector, delivering an optimized permanent fuel flow for low speeds, as well as a peripheral annular injector. , also called main injector, which delivers an optimized intermittent fuel flow for high speeds, this peripheral injector being for example of the type commonly called multipoint.
- a central injector commonly called a pilot injector
- main injector which delivers an optimized intermittent fuel flow for high speeds
- this peripheral injector being for example of the type commonly called multipoint.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an example of an annular combustion chamber 10 of a so-called staged turbomachine.
- the annular combustion chamber 10 usually comprises two annular walls, respectively internal 12 and external 14, which delimit it and which are connected upstream to an annular bottom wall of chamber 16, and downstream respectively to an outer casing 18 of the turbomachine and to an inner ferrule 20 connected to a diffuser 22 arranged upstream of the combustion chamber 10 and intended to diffuse in this combustion chamber the compressed air coming from a compressor of the turbomachine (not visible in FIG. 1), in a well known manner.
- the chamber bottom 16 generally comprises orifices regularly distributed around the axis of the chamber and in which are mounted air and fuel injection systems 24, each intended to produce a flame in the combustion chamber 10 .
- the injection systems 24 of the combustion chamber 10 shown in FIG. 1 are of the type comprising a central injector, also called a pilot injector, and a peripheral annular injector, also called a main injector, the latter here being of the multipoint type. .
- the central fuel injector 26 is formed of a nozzle opening onto a central axis 28 of the system. which constitutes substantially an axis of symmetry for the parts of revolution constituting the injection system 24.
- This central injector 26 is usually associated with two air intake channels, among which an internal channel 29 into which the central injector 26 opens out so that the fuel sprayed by this central injector 26 can be immediately mixed with the air. admitted in this channel, and an outer annular channel 30 which opens downstream into the injection system 24 to allow a subsequent enrichment in air of the mixture of air and fuel.
- the two air intake ducts 29 and 30 above are generally traversed by oblique fins 32 and 34 intended to print to the flow of air passing through them. gyration movement about the central axis 28 of the injection system 24 to promote the homogenization of the mixture of air and fuel in the injection system.
- Each of the two aforementioned inlet channels 29 and 30 is thus commonly called a swirler, and is generally delimited externally by an annular wall 36, respectively 38, with a convergent-divergent internal profile, sometimes called a venturi, designed in particular to prevent the rising of flame in the injection system 24 by inducing an acceleration of the flow in the downstream vicinity of the nose of the fuel injector.
- the two air intake ducts 29 and 30, and the annular walls 36 and 38 defining them, extend substantially along the axis 28 of the injection system.
- the central fuel injector 26 is usually supplied by a conduit 40 partially housed in an arm 42 carried by the outer casing 18 of the combustion chamber 10 (see Figure 1).
- peripheral or multipoint fuel injector 43 is formed of an annular row of fuel ejection orifices 44 which are for example formed in a frustoconical upstream portion 46 of the wall 38 delimiting the external annular passageway 30 ( see Figure 2).
- the fuel ejection ports 44 of the peripheral injector 43 communicate with an annular distribution cavity 48, supplied with fuel via a pipe 50 partially housed in the arm 42, and these fuel ejection orifices.
- the aforementioned annular air inlet space 53 is traversed by oblique fins 54 intended to print a flow of air around the central axis 28 of the injection system 24 to the flow of air passing through them.
- the annular peripheral channel 52 is delimited internally by the annular wall 38 and externally by a bowl 56 flared downstream and carrying means 58 allowing the injection system 24 to be mounted in the bottom 16 of the combustion chamber 10.
- the annular air inlet space 53 has a frustoconical shape and is internally delimited by the frustoconical portion 46 of the annular wall 38 so as to have a radially facing opening outside.
- the fuel enters the peripheral annular channel 52 through the fuel ejection ports 44 of the peripheral injector 43 and this fuel then meets the flow of air flowing in the channel 52, which promotes atomization of this fuel, that is to say the spraying of this fuel in the form of fine droplets.
- the central or pilot injector 26 delivers a fuel flow that is substantially constant at all operating modes of the combustion chamber and is optimized for low speeds, while the peripheral or main injector 43 delivers at high speed a high fuel flow that is optimized for this type of regime, and not does not deliver fuel at low speeds.
- a pilot combustion zone P producing a fuel-rich flame due to a low airflow
- a M multipoint combustion zone producing a low fuel flame due to a high air flow.
- Combustion chambers equipped with injection systems of the type described above nevertheless have at relatively low levels relatively high levels of emission of certain pollutants, such as for example carbon monoxide or hydrocarbons.
- the emission levels of pollutants depend on the quality of fuel combustion in these combustion chambers, and therefore in particular on the quality of the atomization and the evaporation of the fuel coming from the injectors of the systems. injection, and the presence of recirculation zones to control the mixture of air and fuel in the combustion chamber.
- Dual fuel injection circuitry is desirable at low operating speeds to further reduce emission levels of environmentally harmful substances such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.
- the object of the invention is to remedy at least partially the needs mentioned above and the drawbacks relating to the embodiments of the prior art.
- the invention aims in particular to allow better control of the interference between the pilot and multipoint combustion zones in order to have a pilot combustion zone that is sufficiently distinct from the multipoint combustion zone, and to obtain atomization and rapid evaporation of fuel coming only at low operating speed, the pilot injector.
- the invention thus has, according to one of its aspects, an air and fuel injection system for an annular turbomachine combustion chamber bottom, comprising:
- At least two fuel injection devices among which a central injector and a peripheral annular injector arranged around said central injector, and
- an internal annular air intake channel into which the central injector opens to allow mixing between the fuel from the central injector and the air admitted into the internal annular channel, and at least one external annular channel; for admitting air to this mixture and stabilizing the pilot combustion zone,
- the inner annular channel and said at least one outer annular channel are separated by an intermediate annular wall extending around the central injector and having a convergent inner profile.
- the invention it may be possible to obtain a more homogeneous carburation of the core of the pilot combustion zone and a gain on the control of atomization and evaporation of the fuel from the pilot injector.
- a convergent air film can thus be formed around the pilot injector to allow "guiding" the flow of fuel from the pilot injector mainly to the pilot combustion zone and not to the periphery thereof, to the interface with the multipoint combustion zone.
- This better control of the fuel combustion from the pilot injector can prevent the freezing of chemical reactions by a high air flow of the multi-point combustion zone and reduce emissions of pollutants at low combustion rates .
- upstream and downstream are to be considered with respect to a main direction F of normal flow of air and fuel (from upstream to downstream) for an injection system.
- the names “external profile” and “internal profile” are respectively in association with a profile which is directed away from the central axis of the injection system and a profile which is directed towards the central axis of the injection system. injection system.
- the terms “converge” and “diverge” are respectively related to a direction in relation to a given flow and a direction away from the flow in question.
- the injection system according to the invention may further comprise one or more of the following characteristics taken separately or in any possible technical combinations.
- the peripheral annular injector may be of the type commonly called multipoint.
- the injection system according to the invention may comprise a plurality of external annular air intake channels, in particular at least two channels. external rings, or at least three or even at least four external annular channels.
- the outer annular channels may be superimposed radially to each other, and may be superimposed radially to the inner annular channel.
- the intermediate annular wall extends between the inner annular channel and the outer annular channel closest to the central axis of the injection system.
- the intermediate annular wall advantageously has an inner profile which converges towards the central axis of the injection system.
- convergent internal profile it should be understood that the internal profile of the intermediate annular wall is exclusively convergent.
- the case of an internal profile diverging with respect to the central axis of the injection system for example a convergent-divergent internal profile, is excluded.
- the intermediate annular wall may have a truncated collar at its end near the nose of the central injector.
- the intermediate annular wall may in particular have an internal profile which converges towards the central axis of the injection system so that the flow of fuel sprayed by the central injector and the outgoing air flow of the internal annular channel are substantially perpendicular.
- the orientation of the intermediate annular wall to allow an air flow substantially perpendicular to the fuel injection can promote the atomization and evaporation of the fuel.
- the transport of the fuel droplets, sprayed at the outlet of the pilot injector is then imposed by the air flow of the inner annular channel along the central axis of the injection system, and no longer by the centrifugation effect. , and thus the fuel can move away from the multi-point combustion zone allowing a better distribution of the fuel in the pilot combustion zone.
- the inner annular channel is not able to generate a gyration movement (or "swirl" in English).
- the internal annular channel is not twisted to allow such a gyration movement, that is to say that the inner annular channel is free of twisting to generate a gyration movement.
- the absence of such a gyration movement at the inner annular channel avoids a sudden burst of air flow that could lead to a fuel transport to the multi-point combustion zone.
- the intermediate annular wall may comprise a first upstream portion extending substantially along the central axis of the injection system and a second downstream portion converging towards the central axis of the injection system.
- the length of the intermediate annular wall, and in particular the length of the first portion and / or of the second portion, may be chosen so as to be sufficient to allow the guiding of the air flow towards the nose of the injector central.
- the orientation of the second portion of the intermediate annular wall towards the central axis of the injection system may be substantially the same as the orientation of the nose of the central injector.
- the intermediate annular wall may extend along the central axis around the central injector and may be substantially interrupted in superposition with the nose of the central injector.
- the intermediate annular wall may end in the same plane as that containing the nose of the central injector, this plane being substantially perpendicular to the central axis of the injection system.
- the injection of air from the inner annular channel directly to the nose of the central injector, through the convergent inner profile of the intermediate annular wall, can prevent the rise of flame, and thus advance the nose of the injector towards the pilot combustion zone by benefiting from the best distinction between pilot and multipoint combustion zones.
- the presence of a wall with a convergent-divergent internal profile forming a venturi may then no longer be necessary.
- the presence of such a convergent-divergent inner profile forming a venturi wall, then located in particular downstream of the intermediate annular wall may, where appropriate, make it possible to further improve the backflow prevention, as well as the homogenization between air and fuel.
- Said at least one outer annular channel may be adapted to be traversed by fins, in particular oblique fins, intended to print the flow of air passing therethrough a gyration movement around the central axis of the injection system.
- the fins can be chosen so as to generate a slight movement of gyration.
- said at least one outer annular channel may be able to generate a gyration movement.
- Such a turning movement, generated in said at least one outer annular channel by the presence of the fins, can make it possible to generate at least one recirculation zone, in particular a recirculation zone upstream of the pilot combustion zone and a recirculation zone. downstream of the pilot combustion zone, around the pilot combustion zone formed by the central injector. Said at least one recirculation zone may allow a stabilization of the flame generated in the pilot combustion zone.
- Said at least one recirculation zone in particular the recirculation zone located downstream of the pilot combustion zone, can also allow complete combustion of the pilot combustion zone.
- the aerodynamic structure and said at least one recirculation zone around the pilot combustion zone can be controlled by the presence of said external annular air intake channel.
- Said at least one outer annular channel may be delimited externally by an annular wall, in particular an annular wall with a convergent-divergent internal profile, in an upstream portion of which are provided fuel ejection orifices forming the peripheral annular injector.
- These fuel ejection ports may open into a peripheral annular channel provided with an annular inlet space of an air flow for mixing in the peripheral annular channel with fuel from the peripheral annular injector.
- This annular wall may have a portion of convergent internal profile, oriented towards the central axis of the injection system. This internal profile portion convergent can be superimposed on the second convergent downstream portion of the intermediate annular wall. This portion of internal profile converge and the second convergent downstream portion of the intermediate annular wall may be oriented towards the central axis of the injection system extending substantially parallel to each other.
- the annular air inlet space may be traversed by fins for printing the flow of air through a gyrating movement around the central axis of the injection system.
- the invention further relates, in another of its aspects, an annular combustion chamber for a turbomachine, characterized in that it comprises at least one injection system as defined above.
- the invention further relates, in another of its aspects, to a turbomachine, characterized in that it comprises an annular combustion chamber as defined above.
- the annular combustion chamber and the turbomachine according to the invention may comprise any of the previously mentioned characteristics, taken separately or in any technically possible combination with other characteristics.

- FIG. 6 is a view, in axial section, of another example of an injection system according to the invention.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 relating to an annular combustion chamber 10 of a turbomachine comprising injection systems 24 according to the prior art, have already been described previously.
- FIGS. 3 to 5 there is shown a first example of an injection system 24 according to the invention.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 are respectively views in axial section and in perspective of the injection system 24, and
- FIG. 5 illustrates the formation of recirculation zones between the pilot combustion zone and the multipoint combustion zone obtained thanks to the injection system. injection 24.
- Such an injection system 24 may be intended to equip an annular combustion chamber 10 of a turbomachine, in particular such as that described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, and be of a type similar to the injection system 24 of FIGS. 1 and 2. Also, only the elements specific to the injection system 24 according to the invention are described below and reference can be made to the foregoing description with regard to elements similar to those of FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the air and fuel injection system 24 comprises a central injector 26 provided with a nose 26a for spraying a flow of fuel C, and a peripheral annular injector 43 is arranged around the central injector 26.
- the peripheral annular injector 43 is in particular a multipoint type injector.
- the injection system 24 further comprises an internal annular channel 71 for the admission of air into which the central injector 26 opens to allow mixing between the fuel C coming from the central injector 26 and the air flow Al admitted in the inner annular channel 71 to avoid excessive centrifugation of the fuel droplets, and also an external annular air intake channel 30, generating a gyration movement unlike the inner annular channel 71, to allow enrichment subsequent air to this mixture and stabilize the pilot combustion zone P, as well as to control the aerodynamic structures of the pilot combustion zone P whose ZR am recirculation zones have and ZR ava i described later with reference to Figure 5 .
- the inner annular channel 71 and the outer annular channel 30 are separated by an intermediate annular wall 70 which extends around the central injector 26 and which has a convergent inner profile 70a.
- the intermediate annular wall 70 comprises a first upstream portion li which extends substantially rectilinearly along the central axis 28 of the injection system 24, around the central injector 26, and a second downstream portion l 2 which converges towards the central axis 28 of the injection system 24.
- the intermediate annular wall 70 further extends along the central axis 28 around the central injector 26 and then stops substantially in superposition with the nose 26a of the central injector 26, so that the flow of air A1 from the inner annular channel 71 and the flow of fuel C from the nose 26a of the central injector 26 are found mixed with each other in a high gradient area to improve the spray.
- the intermediate annular wall 70 also has a convergent external profile 70b, facing a diverging portion of the annular wall 38.
- the orientation of the intermediate annular wall 70 having an internal profile 70a converging towards the central axis 28 of the injection system 24 can make it possible to obtain an injection of the fuel C substantially perpendicularly to the air flow Al coming from the inner annular channel 71.
- the injection of the fuel C substantially perpendicularly to the air flow Al can impose the direction of transport of the fuel droplets C along the central axis 28 to the pilot combustion zone P.
- the fuel flow C is thus remote from the multipoint combustion zone M to better feed the pilot combustion zone P.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the distinction obtained between the pilot combustion zone P and the multipoint combustion zone M. Moreover, as can be seen in FIG. 3, the fuel flow C is then remote from the air flow. A2 from the peripheral annular channel 52 (also called the main swirler).
- the stabilization of the flame at the level of the pilot combustion zone P may necessitate the presence of a recirculation zone ZR am having, near the nose 26a of the central injector. 26, and a recirculation zone ZR ava i, located downstream of the pilot combustion zone P.
- the recirculation zone ZR ZR am have or Ava I may for example be generated by the turning movement of the intermediate obtained tendrils (external channel 30) and main (peripheral channel 52) which may be provided with oblique vanes 34 and 54 such as previously described.
- the aerodynamic structure and the recirculation zones ZR amon t and ZR ava i around the pilot combustion zone P can be controlled by the presence of the external air intake channel 30.
- a convergent air film in the pilot zone of the injection system 24, obtained by the presence of the intermediate annular wall 70 with a convergent internal profile 70a, can make it possible to obtain a flame in the zone pilot combustion P sufficiently distinct from the main flow of the multipoint combustion zone M to prevent freezing of the combustion reactions of the pilot flame, and a supply of fuel from the central injector 26 fast with optimized atomization and evaporation . In this way, it may be possible to significantly improve the fuel combustion and thus further reduce the level of emission of substances harmful to the environment.
- FIG. 6 there is shown a second example of an injection system 24 according to the invention.
- the injection system 24 of FIG. 6 comprises two external annular air intake channels 30a and 30b radially superimposed on one another. to the other.
- Each external annular channel 30a, 30b is traversed respectively by oblique fins 34a, 34b, intended to print the flow of air therethrough a gyration movement about the central axis 28 of the injection system 24.
- This movement of gyration can promote the appearance of recirculation zones ZR am and ZRavai, as described above.
- the inner annular channel 71 is not able to generate a gyration movement.
- the intermediate annular wall 70 further comprises a first upstream portion li which extends substantially rectilinearly about the central axis 28 of the injection system 24, around the central injector 26, and a second downstream portion l 2 which converges towards the central axis 28 of the injection system 24.
- intermediate annular wall 70 extends along the central axis 28 around the central injector 26 and then stops substantially in superposition with the nose 26a of the central injector 26, as described above.
- annular wall 36 with a convergent-divergent internal profile, or even a venturi 36 may make it possible to further improve the effect obtained by the intermediate annular wall 70 for avoiding the upwelling in the cooling system. injection 24.
